Subject: RE: BS: What's the furthest travelled euro?
G'day,

Damn ... down here in Australia, I was hoping we had a report on radio-tracking the wallaroo (Macropus robustus erubescens) ... a shorter, stockier (and stroppier) first cousin of the kangaroo.

Actually, the new money in Europe has a good Australian nomenclature. As well as the euro mentioned above, the exercise was christened EMU (European Monetary Union), so we nearly have the set of bearers (kangaroo and emu) for the Australian coat of arms!

Regards,
